Summary

Ben Stokes says his own impressive form with the bat “counts for nothing” unless England put their ailing World Cup campaign back on track.

It won’t look like it when we’ve been bowled out quite cheaply in the last two games but we are a very, very confident team in terms of our batting line-up and these last two games aren’t going to knock our confidence at all.”

Home advantage has not even extended to the pitches on show in the event so far, with slower, stickier pitches than England typically prefer“We’ve got a great record against India in England, but we’ll just have to wait and see what conditions we’re faced with,” admitted Stokes.

But they are another team who are in good form, so hopefully we can bring our best game.”

He was in prime form when injury struck whereas his replacement, James Vince, has managed just 40 runs in three innings“Obviously losing a player of Jason’s class is tough,” said Stokes.
